Berlin Crime on Google Maps

Berlin Crime MapGerman newspaper The Beliner Kurier has created a Google Maps mashup of crime in Berlin.

The crimes are marked on the map by categorised markers; a black fist indicates violent crime, red fire indicates arson, a hammer indicates vandalism, the blue police car indicates transport crime, a black mask means it is a robbery, a flashlight indicates theft and a green policeman stands for all other crimes.

When you click on a map marker an information window opens with the police report for the crime.
